← ScienceWhich phenomenon primarily enables long-distance radio wave propagation beyond the horizon?
A)Ionospheric refraction✓
B)Tropospheric scattering
C)Ground wave attenuation
D)Free-space amplitude spreading
💡 Explanation
The ionosphere refracts radio waves, causing them to bend back toward Earth; this allows long-distance propagation because the radio waves are reflected, rather than attenuated, and therefore go far beyond line of sight.
